Chapter 61: Honey's Moon
Present Day
Elaine's POV
My body felt sore and tired; I still felt sleepy despite being asleep for seven hours already.
But I stretch out my arms anyway, willing myself to wake up. It's already around ten in the morning and the heat of the sun is already seeping in my skin.
I looked to my side and Tyler was still snoring, hugging Taylor. A fluffy pillow was between his legs. I don't even know how Taylor ended up in our bed. I ruffled his messy hair as I climbed down from the purple bed.
I was not able to see the sunrise, where the sky will begin to bleed in tangerine and pink, and the water of the Luna's Lake reflecting beautifully especially in this distance. Yet, the lake still glimmers with every sunshine sent by the heavens.noveldrama
I smiled, my sleeveless nightgown almost left my body when a strong mountain wind passed by.
"You should have woken me up." A pair of muscular arms appeared from my waist,
holding my stomach.
I turned my head to Tyler and kissed him.
"You ruined my morning meditation."
He laughed as I glanced behind him; the French doors are still open.
"How long are we going to be isolated in this Honeymoon House?"
He raised a brow before stroking his hand on my nape. "A week. As most honeymoon seasons last." Tyler's lips were now on the tip of my ear, biting it. "Why are you so eager to leave now? It's not like we cannot be wild here, can't we?"
"I'm just..." I returned to the bedroom, Luna's Lake sparkling as I strode to the bed and my body crashed on the mattress. "It feels different. I was accustomed for the past few weeks to the noise in the morning coming from the people, the mansions standing next to each other, windows opened as women gossip early in the morning-it feels a bit lonely here. Not that I mean that you are here with me but..."
"You are worried about something." He brought my hand to his face. "Are you worried about Rowena?"
I pursed my lips, refusing to look at him. "Is it that obvious?"
"Very obvious," he crooned.
I ran my lips from the thickness of his pants, seductively acting and looking at him. "Can I go outside and meet with Melissa?"
Tyler shook his head but his dark amusement reverberated in the walls. "You could have
asked me simply and not act like a dog sniffing my pants."
I tilted my head, "I thought you wouldn't allow me that's why I also did not wear my underwear," I purred.

My ass is still hurting.
That was my first time being stabbed at the back in the shower by Tyler's sword. But it felt good, glorious even.
"Elaine!" I saw Melissa at the same spot where we used to sit in Café del Luna. There are a few people inside. Some smiled at me when I walked by. Some even called me out on how my first night with an Alpha is.
I just shrugged and replied, "It's lunatic." And they will be laughing when I disappear from their sight.
I immediately sat beside Melissa as soon as I arrived at the table. "I'm surprised Tyler let you out of the Honeymoon House. Werewolves generally would not allow their wives away from their sight even for a second.
juice.
"I gave him an anal, that's why." I winked at her, and she almost choked on her coconut
"You" She wiped her mouth. "I heard it's painful."
"It is. Why do you think I'm sitting like a frog." She looked behind me and grinned. ; "Did he come inside?"
"Twice."
"Twice?" I nodded while sipping clemently on the sweating glass of orange juice. "In your bed?"
"In the bathroom."
Melissa's mouth fell open. And as I looked at her closer, she's wearing a black, long- sleeved dress.
"Why are you wearing a mourning black dress?" The amusement on her face vanished like bubbles popping in thin air.
"You haven't yet heard of it?" Melissa waved a hand around. My eyes roamed to the interiors of Café del Luna and just noticed that black ribbons hang from the ceiling, everyone is wearing black.
"Did someone die?" I asked while briefly chuckling.
"Rowena." My lungs yielded a breath for a second as soon as I heard that name. "Her heart is found missing."
I placed the glass gently while I stared at the seat in front of me blankly, as if I was not staring at all. I exhaled, willing those negative emotions to remain at bay.
"Jason was the first one who saw her as he brought a tray of smoking hot breakfast like
what he did the morning on the day of your wedding..."
It seemed as if the sky had shattered, raining down splinters of sadness on top of our heads. My eyes locked with emptiness and time slowed. Around us, there was only light and the fine mist from the hot soup Melissa ordered for me.
I looked at Tyler's mansion which was just towering on the side across Café del Luna. The windows reflected the midmorning sun, making it impossible to see inside.
If Tyler is watching me.
Melissa Delvin-Moonstorm, my sister-in-law, met my eyes as I returned my gaze to her without even listening to a single word she said since the moment she told me about Jason serving breakfast to Rowena in the underground prison. I silently pleaded for her to understand how I am feeling for that kind of news. Her face hardened for a moment, and then she nodded tightly. One nod and it was enough for me to let go of my tears.
Atop the table in Cafe del Luna, where Rowena once sat across me, a passing wind softly grazed my fingers in a way how Rowena used to brush her hand on mine. The throb of my pulse pounded in my neck, making me close my eyes as the pain clawed deeper and deeper to me with every beat of my heart.
"I'll just go out for a bunch of fresh air." I stood up, wiping the cold sweats
descending from my forehead.
I glanced at my shoulders before disappearing."I shall return shortly."
